Inverter Generator Technology
Where conventional generators produce a single square wave of AC power for every engine rotation, an
inverter generator produces a clean sine wave just like that power from your home outlets with hundreds of
overlapping AC sine waves per engine rotation that results in more electrical power produced from each
rotation. The electronic processor in the inverter module "converts" three-phase, high-frequency AC power from
the alternator into DC power, which is then changed by the inverter module to a clean and stable 120-volt,
60-hertz AC power signal. The technology programmed into the inverter allows it to control all functions of the
generator for stable, consistent, clean power.
This clean sine wave power allows the generator to be used with any and all computer and electronic based
appliances in today's homes, businesses, construction sites, and outdoor recreation. An added benefit is the
ability of these generators to produce 120-volt, 60-hertz current at various engine speeds, thus saving fuel
running at slower speeds and low load conditions but with the power for full speed and output when needed.
